Off Topic, My Apologies

[chaoticchaos13.livejournal.com]

I won't take up too much of your time.  If this post is way too off topic, please take it down and burn it somewhere.

I thought, in light of the majority of the fiction here, a few of you would be interested in adding your name to the list of supporters for overturning prop. 8 in California.

Here is a link.

And if not, then tell me where to get off!

Sometimes I really hate my country. *is shot*

Hopefully you wouldn't be shot at-- that's not the kind of country in which I want to live.

Here's the thing-- you may hate the decision on Prop. 8, but at least we're able to speak out against it and fight it. I'm disappointed in the California vote, but I'm glad that I'm free to let my anger be known.

Online petition are often have no legal impact. If you're interested in working to overturn the decision, you might want to look in your town/city/state for grass-roots movements that will have a bigger/ more specific impact. If you don't have any organization or movement where you are, you can definitely write to your congressional folk.

Just keep having a voice, because sometimes it can make the biggest difference.

I signed it! I was disappointed in the California voters, but I also feel that people are angry enough over it and there's enough support from voters in other states, that they might be able to get another proposal passed next time around.

That was my idea. I know these online things have little legal impact, but the more people are aware, the more they are likely to talk about the issues and do active public things.

Signed as well.
I think that the whole Prop8 thing was a travesty. I usually really like living in CA because it's fairly liberal, but that's been eroded lately and this shows it plenty!

Signed. If I lived in the States, I'd take a more active role but I'm not sure what more I can do, stuck over here in Blighty.
